You looking for something for amateur movie making? or just for video taping family functions?

I am just going to use it for when I go on vacation, so pretty much family stuff. I would also like it to be small, if possible.

I'm a big fan of the Sony MiniDV Handycams. I have the DCR-HC40. The best video quality I've seen from a single-CCD camcorder, and a few reviews I've read concur. The current version of this model is the DCR-HC42, which adds a docking station now. Not sure I like the dock approach, but the camera itself should be pretty much the same as what I have. And it's quite a bit less than $700 too.
Canon camcorders are nice too, but I give Sony the edge (only in camcorders though -- in still cameras, Canon thoroughly beats Sony).
